Thank you !

Just spent the weekend with Guido and these. I will post some impressions in my humble none tech way ... I just got off the plane, so not to tonite ... Just want to thank Mr and Mrs Guido for making me feel so much at home in the finest tradition of the forum.

K .... the sound . The quality of the components cannot be questioned . The bottom end was like nothing I have heard before.
Tight and deep bass, Mid range wide and dynamic ... the UHF I thought rolled off too quick at 26k ,but hey ... not too bad though.
The networks are still a work in progress ,so more will be revealed I'm sure . Listened to a lot of high res tracks - really hard to go down in bit rate after that . Its the high res that really made them shine .

Its a shame HD is so limited in variety. Classical and Jazz are plentiful ,but I can't listen to that all the time . I did download some tracks when I got home and set the DAC to 192 .. It really is a different experience altogether. The sense of space and clarity is amazing .

Guido was using his F5's and mentioned that he felt his old amps were smoother in the mids ( I didn't say a word as the XAs' now live in England with no plans to cross the channel again ) I was shown some rather interesting schematics for a new amp build though

The build quality is German ,thats all I need to say . I got a real insight into the process of tweaking the networks by ear ,but look forward to my next trip to hear the conclusion .

I don't think I have done the project justice , a hard think to do when you don't have a technical background ,but I can say that if money and parts availability were not an issue ,there would be some sawdust flying here in the living room .

At Munich 2012 audioshow on MOC (probabily the bigger in Europe) was present the Everest 66000 but without singing........just for look...
Truextend was also there....

If JBL had a room there ,they kept it very well hidden . We didn't see it . We did hear the Genelec and the new TAD Evolution
Andrew Jones certainly knows how to build speakers. IMHO , too much bling on most of the gear. A lot of things I'd never heard before ..... even more opinions LOL
These D&M were interesting :
